Alabama has no commercial casinos and no state lottery, and commercial table games remain illegal. Knowingly advancing or profiting from unlawful gambling (other than as a player) is promoting gambling, a Class A misdemeanor — Ala. Code §13A-12-22. The Poarch Band of Creek Indians operates tribal Class II gaming (electronic bingo) under federal IGRA; limited charitable bingo in some counties and pari-mutuel/historical racing at dog tracks.
